It's a summer that will include new big-screen versions of "Spider-Man" (with Andrew Garfield taking on the role) and "Batman" ("The Dark Knight Rises," the conclusion of the story from "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight"). "Men in Black," which also began as a comic book, will be on view in a third movie in that Will Smith series.
